    California has a border fence to keep illegals out. Gov Abbott is
    simply helping a sanctuary state maintain their status.

    A bus carrying 44 migrants from Texas arrived at Union Station on
    Saturday morning, the fifth such busload sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott
    in just over a month, according to Los Angeles officials.

    The migrants arrived in downtown Los Angeles from Brownsville, Texas,
    around 11: 30 a.m. and were met by members of the L.A. Welcome
    Collective, which includes the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the Central
    American Resource Center-Los Angeles, Coalition for Humane Immigrant
    Rights and others.

    The move by the Texas governor comes just four days after another bus he
    sent — carrying 44 migrants from Venezuela, China, Guatemala, Honduras,
    Haiti, Colombia, Chile and Brazil — arrived at Union Station from
    Brownsville.

    "The City has continued to work with City Departments, the County, and a coalition of nonprofit organizations, in addition to our faith partners,
    to execute a plan set in place earlier this year," Los Angeles Mayor
    Karen Bass said in a statement. "As we have before, when we became aware
    of the bus yesterday, we activated our plan."

    The three other buses arrived on June 12, July 1 and July 13 carrying, respectively, 42, 41 and 30 migrants.

    Texas has funded the transport of more than 22,000 migrants to
    Democratic-run cities across the U.S., including New York, Washington,
    Chicago, Denver and Philadelphia, as part of Abbott’s protest against
    federal immigration policies. So far, he's raised $415,397 in donations
    to help pay for the transfer of migrants, according to the governor's
    website.

    The irony is that these people are fleeing states with economies ravaged
    by the politicians that most of them probably voted for or supported.
